When you look at the earth from above the North Pole does it appear to spin clockwise or counterclockwise?
Since you're standing on the Earth, you'll see exactly the same thing any time
you look down between your feet or anywhere around you, no matter where
on Earth you're standing.
If you want to see the Earth spinning, you have to look at something that's
not ON the Earth. Fortunately, there are a huge number of those available
to you, any time you can see the sun or other stars. Just watch any of those,
and sure enough, you'll see them seem to spin around the sky, as you and
the Earth spin under it.
What else can I help you with?
When viewed from above its north pole a body that moves in a counter clockwise directions is said to have?
Retrogade rotation
Does Saturn spin clockwise or counter clockwise?
Jupiter spins counter clockwise. To be exact, it spins counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole. That's the same direction of spin as most of the planets, including Earth.
Which planet moves clockwise round the sun?
There is no such planet. They all move counterclockwise (when viewed from above the Earth's north pole, which is the usual definition).
Which way does the moon rotate on its axis clockwise or counter-clockwise?
The moon rotates on its axis in the same direction it orbits the Earth, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. This is known as prograde rotation.
What direction does Venus spin on its axis?
Venus rotates clockwise, when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
In which direction is the Earth's rotation when viewed from above the North Pole, spinning clockwise or counterclockwise?
When viewed from above the North Pole, the Earth's rotation is counterclockwise.
Does earth move counter or clockwise?
Earth rotates counterclockwise on its axis when viewed from above the North Pole. This rotation causes the Sun to appear to rise in the east and set in the west from our perspective on Earth.
Which way does earth rotate?
If you "stand" above the North Pole and look down it will appear to turn anti-clockwise. Looking at it from above the equator, it appears to turn from left to right.If you were hanging up above the north pole, looking down at the earth, you would seethe earth spinning counterclockwise, right to left, west to east.
Which way does the earth move clockwise or anticlockwise?
The Earth rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This counterclockwise rotation is also known as west to east.
When viewed from above its north pole a body that moves in a counter clockwise directions is said to have?
Retrogade rotation
Does the world turn clockwise?
The Earth's rotation can be described as counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole, meaning it spins from west to east. However, from the perspective of someone positioned above the South Pole, the rotation would appear clockwise. It's important to clarify the viewpoint when discussing the direction of the Earth's rotation.
How does Uranus move clockwise or counter clockwise?
Uranus rotates on its axis counterclockwise when viewed from above its north pole, making it one of the few planets to rotate in a retrograde direction. Its moons and rings also orbit around the planet counterclockwise, as viewed from above the north pole.
Does the moon revolve around the earth clockwise or anti-clockwise?
The moon orbits the Earth in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the North Pole. This counterclockwise motion is in the same direction as the Earth's rotation on its axis.
Does Saturn spin clockwise or counter clockwise?
Jupiter spins counter clockwise. To be exact, it spins counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole. That's the same direction of spin as most of the planets, including Earth.
Which planet moves clockwise round the sun?
There is no such planet. They all move counterclockwise (when viewed from above the Earth's north pole, which is the usual definition).
Does the sun move counterclockwise or clockwise?
It depends on your view point. Looking at the solar system from above our north pole, the sun and all of the planets rotate/orbit counter clockwise (or anti clockwise).
Which way does the moon rotate on its axis clockwise or counter-clockwise?
The moon rotates on its axis in the same direction it orbits the Earth, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. This is known as prograde rotation.
